I've taken my purple Surly Pugsley (the original fat tire mountain
bike) up (by tacking) and down the easier slopes at Big Powderhorn
Mountain near Ironwood. Head protection consists of a balaclava made by
Seirus. It's designed to vent respiration while protecting the entire
face, including the nose and mouth. See:

My goggles are Smith downhill ski, which are top-vented so the
lenses are totally non-fog separate from the nose and mouth. Helmet is a
Giro winter multi-sport, making for a toasty warm and absolutely
protective combination.

Hi all,
I am outfitted to bike through severe cold temperatures, but find that
my nose is sometimes still exposed and in danger of frost nip.
If I pull my merino wool balaclava up to cover my nose, my goggles fog up.
In the past I have used a fleece ear warmer as an add-on around my
head at nose-level, but it's sort of precarious.
Just seeing what others do for full face protection when the
temperatures (without wind factor) are in the -10 to -20 range?
